Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017131580A1] A microfluidic device comprises at least one inlet for receiving a sample comprising target cells and non-target cells; a first spiral channel portion having an upstream end in a central region and a downstream end in a peripheral region, the upstream end being coupled to the inlet, the first spiral channel portion being configured such that the target cells and the non- target cells occupy different streams at the downstream end; a first waste outlet arranged to couple with streams of non-target cells at the downstream end of the first spiral channel portion; a link channel portion arranged to couple with streams of target cells at the downstream end of the first spiral channel portion; a second spiral channel portion having an upstream end in a peripheral region and a downstream end in a central region, the upstream end of the second channel portion being coupled to the link channel portion, the second spiral channel portion being configured such that the target cells and the non-target cells occupy different streams at the downstream end; a second waste outlet arranged to couple with streams of non-target cells at the downstream end of the second spiral channel portion; and a sample outlet arranged to couple with streams of target cells at the downstream end of the second spiral channel portion.
